so now it's down to the "last"s. The last time I will see the night market. The last time I will eat dinner with my first family. The last time I will walk along the river here. You know, for the longest time I was homesick. The LONGEST TIME. And then coming home got closer and closer. Now I realize that this is my home. THIS IS HOME. I'm home already. I know that when I go home I'll see my mom and all that but right now, I don't miss any of it. I don't miss the parties or the people. I don't miss the cold weather and the mountains. I'm comfortable here. Amasing isn't it? I thought I would never feel this way and then BOOM. One day it just hit me.
I went out for dinner with my first family. My sister just got home from America so we all went out. They had a little speech for me and I cried. Then I said some words and I cried some more. They drove me to my house and I cried again. Sigh. They're my family. My mom. I remember the first full day I was in Thailand she took me around the river. We walked past my school and I thought "Oh gawd, it's so far away!" (it's less than a 10 minute walk) She couldn't speak any Engilsh and I couldn't speak any Thai but we got along just fine. I was sweating my guts out though lol. And my dad. After dinner he would sit me down and we would learn. I would teach him English words and he would teach me Thai words. I learned a lot in those few months. Anon, my big brother. Man, was he EVER BIG haha. I think he was about 6 foot and more than 250 pounds. The biggest kid in our school by FAR. He told me funny stories about Thailand and passing out in the disco. Anan! OH ANAN! You are such a strange boy! And really he is. He's a sweetheart though and if I were to ever have a little brother I would want one exactly like him. P Pang... well P Pang was really shy and not around that much. But I always thought her sense of style was really cool, and she had nice legs lol.
A-o that fucking dog, I'm only going to miss him a little bit.
You know, it's really fucking heart breaking to let them go. I don't want to! I want to take them with me and they can see snow and fall in love with it and we can laugh and speak Thai and joke like we always do.
Thank you Utchin family for making this year so... comfortable! You made me feel like a part of the family which is a wonderful feeling. Thank you so much.
